Since 1.1.1, the Gemini adapters ignore httpOptions.fetch when the config has an apiKey, so every request goes to the global fetch and nothing throws. This PR sends the requests through httpOptions.fetch again, on the generateContent path and on the Interactions path that image generation uses.

🎯 Changes

• src/client/api.ts: apiCall calls the client's httpOptions.fetch ?? fetch.
• src/client/interactions.ts: pass httpOptions.fetch to createHttpClient.
• A unit test, an E2E route and spec, a patch changeset, and one docs bullet. The docs said that the SDK does not take a custom fetch. @google/genai 2.23.0 and later take httpOptions.fetch.

✅ Checklist

• I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
• I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
• I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
• Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
• Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.

🚀 Release Impact

• This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
• This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Root cause

Issue. With an apiKey, a custom fetch in httpOptions.fetch is not called. Requests go to the global fetch. This affects chat, embeddings, files, video, auth tokens, and image generation. Vertex AI and enterprise use the SDK and are not affected.

Cause. #1973 replaced the SDK with a fetch client for the API-key path. apiCall in src/client/api.ts calls the global fetch. createInteractions gives createHttpClient no fetch. The @google/genai 2.10.0 types in the lockfile have no HttpOptions.fetch, so the type check did not show the gap.

Fix. apiCall calls the fetch from the client options. createInteractions passes it to createHttpClient. A local ClientHttpOptions type adds fetch, because the 2.10.0 types do not have it.

Possible alternatives

• Bump @google/genai to ^2.23.0. This alone does not fix the bug, because the API-key path does not call the SDK at runtime. With 1.2.0 and @google/genai 2.32.0 installed, requests still go to the global fetch. A bump only lets the local ClientHttpOptions type go. This PR did not take it, because it changes the dependency range and the lockfile.
• Also read a per-call config.httpOptions.fetch. @google/genai 2.23.0 and later do this. This PR did not take it, because patchHttpOptions drops functions in its JSON copy, so it needs more code, and no caller has asked for it.
• Use the real SDK when httpOptions.fetch is set. This works the same as vertexai. This PR did not take it, because it loads the full SDK and undoes the bundle win of perf(providers): call provider APIs with fetch instead of the SDK runtime #1973.
• Add a TanStack fetch option to GeminiClientConfig. This PR did not take it, because it is new public API. httpOptions.fetch is the option that 1.1.0 users already pass.

Testing

Commands run (Node 24.22.1, pnpm 11.9.0):

• pnpm test:pr: passed (13 projects, 57 tasks).
• In packages/ai-gemini: pnpm test:lib (32 files, 509 tests), pnpm test:types, pnpm test:oxlint (no new warnings): all passed.
• pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e test:e2e (local default providers), two full runs. Each run had different failures in specs that this PR does not touch:
  • Run 1: openrouter-json-object-wire.spec.ts:9 and openrouter-web-tools-wire.spec.ts:40 failed. The captured request was empty. Both specs pass alone, on main and on this branch.
  • Run 2: 718 passed, 4 skipped, 2 did not run, and 1 failed (multimodal-tool-result-wire.spec.ts:170). That spec passes alone on this branch (7 of 7).

Repro on clean main and on this branch. I ran the new tests with the src/ change set aside, then with it.

pnpm exec vitest run tests/custom-fetch-wire.test.ts in packages/ai-gemini:

main:
 × sends models.generateContent through it
   ApiError: {"error":{"message":"global fetch was called"}}
 × sends interactions.create through it
   BadRequestError: 400 global fetch was called
 Tests  2 failed (2)

this branch:
 Tests  2 passed (2)

pnpm exec playwright test tests/gemini-custom-fetch-wire.spec.ts in testing/e2e:

main:
  1) gemini -- httpOptions.fetch › chat and image requests go through the custom fetch
     Error: Route failed: Connection error.
  1 failed

this branch:
  1 passed (5.6s)

Manual test:

1. Open https://stackblitz.com/github/kurochenko/tanstack-ai-gemini-fetch-repro and run npm start. With 1.2.0 it prints "customFetchCalls":0 and a global fetch called error.
2. Point @tanstack/ai-gemini at a build of this branch and run it again. It prints {"text":"hi","customFetchCalls":1}.

How this PR makes testing easy:

• packages/ai-gemini/tests/custom-fetch-wire.test.ts: generateContent with and without per-call httpOptions, and interactions.create.
• testing/e2e/tests/gemini-custom-fetch-wire.spec.ts: the real chat and image adapters. The base URL is https://gemini.invalid, so a request that skips the custom fetch fails and makes no network call.

Fixes #2112

Risk / rollback

Low. Without httpOptions.fetch, the code calls the global fetch as before. To undo the change, revert this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Gemini requests, including chat and image generation, can now use a custom fetch implementation when an API key is provided.
• Documentation
  • Updated proxy guidance to explain custom fetch support and note that it requires @google/genai version 2.23.0 or later.

Walkthrough

The Gemini adapter now uses httpOptions.fetch for API requests, including chat generation and Interactions API image generation. Client tests and an end-to-end route test cover the custom fetch behavior.

Changes: Gemini custom fetch

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Adapter fetch selection packages/ai-gemini/src/client/api.ts, packages/ai-gemini/src/client/interactions.ts, packages/ai-gemini/tests/custom-fetch-wire.test.ts, docs/adapters/gemini-advanced.md, .changeset/gemini-custom-fetch.md	The client accepts an optional fetch implementation and uses it for API calls and Interactions requests. Tests cover chat generation, per-call HTTP headers, and Interactions requests. The docs and changeset describe the option and SDK type-version requirement.
End-to-end custom fetch flow testing/e2e/src/routes/api.gemini-custom-fetch-wire.ts, testing/e2e/src/routeTree.gen.ts, testing/e2e/tests/gemini-custom-fetch-wire.spec.ts	A test route uses a fake fetch for chat and image generation and returns the generated text, image count, and request URLs. The route tree registers the endpoint, and the end-to-end test checks its response.

Explanation

The title names the Gemini adapter package and the core fix: requests go through httpOptions.fetch again. The changeset covers this fix in api.ts and interactions.ts, so the title matches the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has the Changes section, all five checklist items marked, and the Release Impact section with a changeset noted. It also explains the root cause, the fix, alternatives considered, testing commands and results, and a rollback plan. It links issue #2112. The description is long, but it covers every required section and the required information.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2112 has one coding objective: with an apiKey, Gemini requests must use the configured httpOptions.fetch instead of the global fetch. This covers the chat path and the image path. The issue also names embeddings, files, video, and auth tokens. Vertex AI and enterprise are excluded.

Code at head:

• packages/ai-gemini/src/client/api.ts: apiCall now uses clientHttpOptions.fetch ?? fetch, on both the no-retry path and every retry attempt. The issue names apiCall as the shared request path that ignored httpOptions.fetch.
• packages/ai-gemini/src/client/interactions.ts: createInteractions passes httpOptions.fetch to createHttpClient. This fixes the image generation path named in the issue.
• A local ClientHttpOptions type adds fetch to the SDK HttpOptions type, which the locked @google/genai 2.10.0 types lack.

Tests: packages/ai-gemini/tests/custom-fetch-wire.test.ts checks models.generateContent (with and without per-call headers) and interactions.create against a custom fetch, with global fetch returning 400. The author reports that the test fails on main and passes on this branch. The E2E spec tests/gemini-custom-fetch-wire.spec.ts reports the same result. I did not run these tests.

Limits: I did not inspect the embeddings, files, video, or auth-token call sites. I rely on the shared apiCall path for those. I did not confirm that createHttpClient honors its fetch option. The author's test results cover that behavior.

Per-call config.httpOptions.fetch and a dependency bump are not required by the issue. The issue reproduces with the client-level option only.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Every changed file supports the fix in #2112:

• packages/ai-gemini/src/client/api.ts and interactions.ts: the fix itself, plus the ClientHttpOptions type it needs.
• packages/ai-gemini/tests/custom-fetch-wire.test.ts: unit tests for the fixed paths.
• .changeset/gemini-custom-fetch.md: a patch changeset for the published package.
• docs/adapters/gemini-advanced.md: corrects the claim that the SDK does not accept a custom fetch. The claim was the reason for the bug report's workaround.
• testing/e2e/src/routes/api.gemini-custom-fetch-wire.ts, testing/e2e/tests/gemini-custom-fetch-wire.spec.ts, and testing/e2e/src/routeTree.gen.ts: the E2E route and spec for the fix. routeTree.gen.ts is the generated route registration for the new route.

No change is unrelated to #2112. The PR adds no new public API, no dependency change, and no per-call fetch support.

Test custom fetch with retry options.

The generateContent test does not enter the retry loop. Add a test with retryOptions where the custom fetch returns a retryable response and then succeeds. Assert that both attempts use the custom fetch.
